HALETHORPE, MD – February 10, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Lumina Solar has expanded its solar leasing program across Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, providing homeowners with a new option to lease solar panels and reduce monthly electricity costs without paying for a solar system outright.
The expansion allows more homeowners to lease solar panels with zero upfront cash, replacing high utility payments with a fixed monthly payment designed to offer predictable monthly costs. Lumina handles the entire process from energy usage analysis through solar array installation on the roof, offering a straightforward path to alternative energy savings.
Homeowners who lease solar panels with Lumina Solar through the program receive a complete solar energy system including PV panels, inverters, and battery storage options from manufacturers like Enphase. The installer manages all permitting, utility approvals, and grid connection. Each solar lease includes comprehensive warranties, monitoring, and maintenance coverage for the lifetime of the contract, eliminating concerns about efficiency or equipment performance.
Lumina has completed more than 6,000 residential installations and maintains a 4.9-star rating from over 1,800 customer reviews. The company employs more than 150 staff members including NABCEP-certified installers and licensed electricians. Recent recognition includes Inc. Magazine Fastest Growing Companies in the Mid-Atlantic for 2024 and REC Group Installer of the Year for the Eastern region. Lumina Solar has also been featured in the Baltimore Sun and Washington Post.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, solar leases allow homeowners to host solar energy systems owned by solar companies and purchase back the electricity generated, resulting in lower electricity bills without monthly loan payments and in many cases no money down to go solar. Research from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that solar leasing lets homeowners save money from the very first month, rather than waiting years to break even on an initial investment of $10,000 or $20,000. This financing option has made solar energy accessible to a wider range of homeowners who may not have the cash available to purchase a system outright.
Unlike traditional ownership that requires loans from lenders or significant home equity, solar panel leasing requires no financing and no long-term loan payments. Homeowners can assume predictable energy costs that resist inflation, and the leased system can transfer to new owners if the home is sold. The terms and conditions are designed to eliminate complexity while the solar panels generate clean solar power for the household.
Homeowners interested in solar leasing can expect a defined process that includes consultation, design, permitting, and installation. After an initial consultation, Lumina Solar completes a detailed roof assessment and custom system design based on the household’s electricity usage. Once the homeowner agrees to the lease, the company handles permitting and utility coordination, with most installations completed within 60 to 120 days. After the system is activated and connected to the grid, homeowners typically see reduced electricity costs in their first full billing cycle. Ongoing monitoring ensures the solar system continues generating optimal output throughout the lifetime of the lease.
Lumina Solar offers consultations to help homeowners evaluate solar lease options and determine if a solar lease fits their needs. The company provides guidance on rebates and incentives available in each service area throughout Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
